The structure of this book was pure precision, but I didn't really like most of the scenarios that have been placed. I personally am not a person to be involved in so much scenarios at once, so this novel was my least favourite out of the Eve series; but was still good.I enjoyed reading this nove...

I think Vanessa and Karen might have solved our band issues! Apart from finding us a manager, obviously. But the practising and the gigging and stuff. In fact, they might have solved our entire summer. In theory I feel I should thank them but I can’t bring myself to do it. ...
She hadn’t been so nervous since Ben Carter asked her to be his girlfriend last fall. She looked at the piece of paper on her desk one final time. She had bulleted out all her points and memorized them, like she had for her history report last year. Technically she was supposed to be helping Emma...

Lena, what the hell is wrong with you?” Rafe turns back to Ben, taking a step toward him. “I’m not repo...
LATE THAT night, I sat on the edge of the bed, the minutes passing slowly. The moonlight cast strange shapes on the floor, menacing black shadows that hovered around me, my only company. There was no more pretending. A soldier stood outside my door now. Caleb was somewhere beyond the City center,...

Stella pounded on the wood door. “Please—open up!” “I told you,” a voice echoed from inside the bathroom. “I don’t want to see your face!” It was Friday afternoon, and the school was practically empty. But Stella was standing outside the eighth-floor loo, waiting for Myra to emerge. Since the ope...
Or even a Valentine’s e-mail. Or even a Valentine’s text. This wouldn’t have been a big deal six months ago because, back then, I didn’t know any boys who could send me any sort of Valentine’s greetings. But for a while back in autumn, I was very optimistic about the future because quite a few go...
